Yeah, but mine is fat free (with a butt-load of sodium though). I don't really care for real butter flavoring the spray adds a hint of butter, but is mainly there to help the salt stick. The salt is what does it for me. It ain't popcorn unless my mouth and lips are burning and raw when I'm done. ;D

stir crazy doesn't need oil either, but just a single Tbs works great.  Oh, and heres a tip:  add the salt BEFORE you pop, it sticks better.  But you have to use a direct heat method for that to work. And you need very fine salt (crush it in a food processor or grinder)

I get the industrial popcorn salt from Sam's. It is the same powdery yellow salt you get in a movie theater...ok now I have to go home and pop some popcorn. ;D

I've never seen a credible study that showed that microwaves are dangerous.

Try the hot dog thing.  If it's cooking a hot dog that is sitting outside of the microwave, those rays are ---smurfing--- with your own fluids too.

shmokes:
I should admit that I own a microwave and actually use it frequently, but almost exclusively to heat water which I then heat bottles of breastmilk in.  I would give up the microwave in a heartbeat, but my wife won't let me.  The true reason behind it is that I'm a food snob and only ---smurfy--- food comes out of microwaves.  And even good food, such as stuff you're reheating, invariably tastes much better when reheated on the stove or in an oven/toaster oven.

I use the health risk thing to give me a way to argue with people who aren't snobbish about food, but it really doesn't concern me.  I use about 1500 minutes a month on my cell phone, and when it's not in use, it's in my pocket, right next to my guys, for christ's sake.  Not that I don't think Microwaves are harmful, but they aren't so harmful that they are truly a priority for me.  The reality is simply that I think they are vastly superior ways to cook food and I don't think microwaves deserve a large, permanent spot on the counter when they are so easily replaced by other kitchen appliances, most of which are already in your kitchen.

So, carry on.  I'm just being a fanatic.
